Scope |
||||||
| The term, "Advanced Fluid Information (AFI)" was created at Institute of Fluid Science (IFS), Tohoku University to signify the paradigm shift in fluid dynamics research (experimental, numerical or theoretical) and its application, with the help of information and communication technology. In 2001, the first International Symposium on Advanced Fluid Information (AFI-2001) was held in Zao, Miyagi, and since then, the AFI symposium has been held successively twenty-four times. Its history is summarized in the IFS website. Coordinated with the AFI symposium, the International Conference on Flow Dynamics (ICFD) has been organized by the two Tohoku University COE programs, "The 21st Century International COE on Fluid Dynamics (21COE, 2003 - 2007)" and "Global COE Program World Center of Education and Research for Trans-disciplinary Flow Dynamics (GCOE, 2008 - 2012)". In 2013, ICFD was hosted by the Institute of Fluid Science. Through this series, the spirit of the AFI symposium and its main aims are continued. Over the past two decades, AFI and ICFD have not only provided a platform for academic exchange but also fostered international collaborations that continue to expand through the activities of the Institute of Fluid Science. Since the establishment of the Joint Usage/Research Center "Fluid Science Research Center" in 2010, accredited by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), IFS has conducted over 100 collaborative research projects annually, of which about one quarter involve international partners. The Center was subsequently reaccredited in 2016 and again in 2022 as the "Fluid Science Global Research and Education Hub" strengthening its framework for global collaboration and researcher exchange. These projects have connected IFS with institutions in Europe, Asia, North America and Australia, resulting in hundreds of joint publications and sustained exchanges of researchers and students. In particular, long-standing collaborations with overseas universities and research centers have significantly advanced topics such as high-fidelity flow diagnostics, computational modeling, and biomedical flow applications. Through these international linkages, AFI and ICFD have nurtured young researchers and expanded the global network of fluid science. Now the AFI symposium has the important task of opening the research results to society through the holding of the Collaborative Research Forum, as well as extending the collaborative projects to researchers around the world through the expanding activities of the International Joint Usage/Research Center. AFI-2025 is jointly held with ICFD2025 and the achievement of the joint projects is presented in OS28: IFS Collaborative Research Forum and in OS29: IFS Lyon Center Collaborative Research Forum. It is highly anticipated that this symposium will foster a productive dialogue among participants and promote further collaboration in the field of Fluid Science and Advanced Fluid Information. Finally, the organizers would like to express their sincere gratitude to the members of the organizing and advisory committees, the reviewers of the contributed papers, and all the participants for their invaluable contributions. The continued success of AFI and ICFD is made possible through the dedicated efforts and active engagement of this community. |
